ISPE’s Women in Pharma community continues to grow globally with one of the group’s latest expansions taking place in the Asia Pacific region.

Just last month, ISPE’s Malaysia Affiliate proudly launched its Women in Pharma initiative in celebration of the Affiliate’s 10th anniversary, welcoming a large group of attendees meeting face-to-face in almost two years.

“Members of the ISPE Malaysia Affiliate started crowding in as early as 8am and the excitement was felt almost instantly. It has been a long two years since we all last met each other in a physical venue, for many of which it was the first time meeting face-to-face,” recounted Mei Ping Lee. “It felt great to be able to socialise and interact in person again, just like the good old days.”
